LANCASTER, Pa. — It took almost two years, but the Lancaster Barnstormers got revenge on the Somerset Patriots for one of the strangest ways to lose a baseball game.

Tip Fairchild threw a wild pitch while trying to issue an intentional walk to Danny Bravo, and the ball rolled all the way to the backstop as the winning run scored and the Patriots lost 4-3 in 12 innings at Clipper Magazine Stadium.

The same teams were involved in the same situation — only reversed — on July 2, 2007. Lancaster’s Lance Odom threw a wild pitch in the bottom of the 12th inning while trying to intentionally walk Mike Lockwood and Danny Garcia scampered home with the winning run. Video of that play wound up on New York news stations and Youtube.

The Patriots trailed 3-1 when Elliott Ayala tied the score with a two-run double in the eighth inning. Ayala was thrown out trying to stretch it into a triple. It was the first out of the inning, though he looked safe with the naked eye.

The Patriots loaded the bases with one out in both the 11th and 12th innings but could not score.
